Sunday Summary. Christmas. The Instagram Trolling. Lan Party with Warhammer Vermintide. ISIS update.

churchofglory3

I hope everyone who reads these profound words have had (and still have ) a great Christmas. I am really happy with my Christmas. I haven’t made any videos the last week and the reason for this is mainly due to wanting to spend Christmas in a bit more relaxed tempo, furthermore I do not want to let social media encroach on my life too much. Everything does not need to be documented (photographed or filmed), this is something that I wish more people would understand in this day and age: To live more in the moment and think less of how the perfect picture might look. With that said I didn’t take any pictures or such during Christmas itself, alas to describe it briefly it was really joyous, I spend most of the day playing with my 7 year old nephews (twins), they are like 7-year old versions of myself which is absolutely glorious. We did some boxing (I have both pads and gloves at my parents home) in addition to building some Lego that they got as presents. Good times!

The Instagram Trolling of Joy

instapoics3

If you have browsed through your Instagram today you might have come across the picture below where I in my picture (the top one) look a lot bigger than my friends the Abelian Bull and Beowulf. The original post is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/_zu2LKjO8b/?taken-by=latsbrah .
The second picture is the one the Abelian Bull uploaded (https://www.instagram.com/p/_zuzf6tEZ1/?taken-by=alexstrongmann) followed by the one Beowulf uploaded (https://www.instagram.com/p/_zu7w0jMay/?taken-by=b3owulf).

Follow the links to appreciate the trolling aspect of the deed!

What we are doing is to out-angle each other, which means that the one who out-angles the others look a lot bigger, which in most cases (this included) consists of standing closer to the camera and also standing at the end of the picture (my left arms close to the camera and close to the side to add the illusion of great size). So this is something you can keep in mind when looking at comparison pictures. A picture is very easy to manipulate. I have talked about this many times before, but it is worth mentioning again: Never judge someone’s physique based upon a few pictures alone, videos are better in this regard and seeing someone in the flesh is even better.
Lastly, for reference, both the Abelian Bull (130 kg) and Beowulf (115 kg) are bigger than I (100 kg).

I also participated in a highly joyous lan yesterday and today, since we were four true friends (myself, Coffebrah, Abdominis and Nattypete) we decided upon trying the newish Warhammer: Vermintide. It is a co-op game for up to 4 players where you liberate a war-torn city from the marauding Skaven. I particularly liked the game since I have read so many books from the Warhammer Fantasy lore. The game also gave a really good Lord of the Rings feel to it, which of course is to its credit! I also like these sort of co-operative games when laning, it creates a more epic feel. If you are into Warhammer and have a few friends that also like Fantasy this game is a must, the setting is one of the coolest I’ve seen in a game which makes it very immersive. The graphics are also very good which adds to this. I sincerely hope to see more Warhammer games come out in the coming time!

Lastly in this Sunday Summary I just briefly wanted to mention this interesting article: ISIS leader threatens Israel, calls for revolt in Saudi Arabia.
Which basically, as the title suggests, shows what the future might bring. As we know now, Israel and Saudi Arabia have indeed not been the most hostile nations to the Islamic State (ISIS soldiers have been treated in Israeli hospitals for example). Now, however, it would seem that the IS has served their purpose and will probably die out in the coming year. They have only been alive for this long due to being backed by powerful forces, but now it is too risky for said powerful forces to continue to back them, and thus they will (this is my prediction at least), fall within a year.

 

Sunday Summary. Assad & Syria. Music Update. Dishonored Review

assad

Above is a picture of Syria’s legitimate ruler, Bashar al-Assad, whom the Western media has done their best to portray as a ruthless dictator, which would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that reality looks like it does in Syria at the moment. As I have said in several videos, the “uprising” in Syria was not an organic or native uprising at all, but instigated by the the West, even Sweden contributed resources to “moderate” rebels in order to topple Assad. Now of course, there is no such thing as moderate rebels. There are ISIS and various mercenary factions paid by foreign interests to usurp power from Assad. As with all things there are many nuances and angles of this. I am not saying that Assad is an optimal leader and a saint, what I am saying, however, is that Syria will be better with him in power. Just as Iraq would have been better with Saddam Hussein in power and Libya with Muammar Ghaddafi in power. It would seem that some people are under the disbelief that “democracy” and tenderness is the best solution in all cases. Which is incredibly narrow-minded. What works in northern Europe is not necessarily what words in the Middle East. One size does not fit all. 

In other news I have been made aware of a very good music YouTube channel, with various nationalistic songs. At first I listened through the music in order to be a good true friend (because I said I’d give it a look), and I must say that many of the songs are very good. The song embedded below is a French rap song. I am usually not the biggest fan of rap but it is a great style of music to reach out with a political message (there are subtitles to the video).

The song below is named “Go Vegan” which might speak to my vegan followers. The reason for posting it is not to promote any sort of vegan agenda but merely because it is so good and testosteronous. Proper PWO-music!

I definitely suggest you listen through some of the songs on the YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/EuropeanUnity565

Furthermore I have the honour of presenting the true friend who has made my new intro, Einar Stigulfsson. I predict that he will come out with a lot of highly epic songs in the coming time!

And lastly in this music update we have Maxime Solemn, proudly presenting him as a true friend as well! PWO-music at its finest!

Since I still do not have any decent beard updates I will post this never seen before (I think at least) picture. I haven’t posted it before due to the eyes looking unfocused but the overall aesthetics of the picture is cool enough, I went for a classic Germanic hero look!

dishonored

Lastly I will share a short review of the game Dishonored, which I played through last week. Usually I do not try out games from series I do not know, alas I decided to try this one because I like assassin type games. Dishonored is set in a steam-punk Victorian London (not London, but London-like fantasy city).
I was unsure whether to recommend this game or not. And I will be perfectly honest, no I do not recommend this game. Even though the combat mechanics was quite cool, the game lacked in story, graphics and overall flow. And it was a bit too dystopic for me, this is obviously down to individual taste. If you are a fan of steam-punk and/or dystopian settings it could be worth it. If not I suggest you find another game!

Sunday Summary. Conor McGregor’s vs Jose Aldo. Lucia, the Swedish Tradition

Usually I wait a few days before talking about a fight, this is in order to avoid spoilers, in case people haven’t been able to see the fight live (I for one didn’t want to wait up until 5 in the morning as would have been the case last night). However, due to the fact that the fight was over in a mere 13 seconds and most of you have probably already seen it I think it is safe to talk about it. The match can be summarized in a sentence: Jose Aldo goes in and drops his guard, McGregor knocks him out with one punch. Even though I have great respect for Aldo I was rather surprised at how badly he defended himself in that single exchange, especially seeing it being so early in the fight. In my view, the beautiful things with the lighter weight-classes (featherweight is -66 kg in the UFC) are the speed, technique and endurance of the athletes. Not having a close to perfect technique as the world champion in the 66 kg weight-class is rather strange in my view. Alas such things happen and Aldo still has a great career behind him which speaks to his merit! Although it is still important to learn from this; always keep your guard up!
The interesting thing now is which path McGregor takes next. I wholeheartedly hope he jumps up a weight-class, to lightweight, which is only 4 kg’s more at 70 kg. I have always appreciated the lightweight division because of the sheer amount of competitors there in addition to the aforementioned speed and crisp technique. It would be awesome to see McGregor enter that arena and begin a glorious reign of terror in the name of Cu Chulainn.
Furthermore it is worth noting that the lightweight belt holds more prestige, not only because it is a heavier weight-class, but also because it has been in the UFC for longer than the featherweight (i.e. a more established belt)!

Lucia2

The Swedish tradition of Lucia takes place in December in remembrance of a Christian saint, alas as with all religious holy days in Sweden it is to a large degree intermingled with Paganism. A bit of Christian and a bit of Pagan, and fully Swedish. This combination, in addition to its tradition (a beautiful woman), is a nightmare given form to the Cultural Marxists, and it has been targeted by these forces during the last decade. The most notable example is putting a boy as Lucia instead of said traditional beautiful woman. This is another attack in the war on natural gender roles, and also another attack on Swedish culture (one among many).
Alas, we should not despair at such blasphemies by the Cultural Marxist establishment. Because love kills hate, and we love our Sweden more than they hate it. Christ and Thor will grace our lands once again and bring back our traditions. The only thing I lament is the generation who are now growing up without a sense of tradition in these things. To give an example, I am not even baptised, and thus not Christian per se, but I have really fond memories of our school ceremonies that took place in the local church (primarily around Yule/Christmas time). School ceremonies that takes place in churches are now beginning to become more rare due to not wanting to offend non-Europeans (primarily Muslims). This however, is unacceptable and something we will change in the coming decade!

deer

Lastly, instead of a weekly beard update I will leave you all with a picture of some deer that we saw upon a hike a few weeks back (I might add the video sequence into a coming video). Speaking of videos I have a good few really interesting topics to share on my channel in the coming week.
